Thanks for the link. I have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia (and PD) and am curious about the link between the two. Apparently hypoglycemia can mimic some PD symptoms.

I do know that my Hypoglycemia was dxd years before the PD,
I have had a low bllod sugar tremor for many years before the PD, the low blood sugar does damage to the brain, so it is a must that you keep your blood sugar levels in good standing otherwise you think you need more meds when actually your brain is dangerously low on sugars and not just junk sugar, if you have too much sugar it is called diabetes - in which both levels are not balanced - as the brain will die for the lack of these sugars it uses in the ATP process - ATP is the energy for the mitochondria to send the signalling - I gave the link to the Linus Pauling Institute earlier... peace to your ♥ tena

it is the levodopa connection - levodopa carbidopa & the hypoglycemia connection! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://curezone.com/upload/Newslette...ONL2004_08.pdf the symptoms of hypoglycemia such as irritability, nervousness, anxiety, dry mouth, muscle tightness in the neck and low back, palpitations and so on. Diabetics quite often experience some of these symptoms. Insulin is the most important hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas contained in the Islets of Langerhans. It promotes glucose utilization by facilitating the entry into the body cells of glucose. It is also promotes protein synthesis using amino acids to make proteins inside body cell and lipid storage in the form of triglycerides. Insulin is a building type of hormone and helps the body to take in nutrients and utilize them. It responds to glucose levels rather than levels of other nutrients. Unfortunately hypoglycemics have too much insulin with the result that too much sugar leaves the blood and the brain is fueled by what little is left. There is not enough sugar in the blood to feed the brain, resulting in tiredness, vagueness in consequence of the blood sugar levels going too low.

This is an important issue. There are articles coming out now,
regarding diabetics...who have attacks of low blood sugar because of their meds not meshing with their diet 100% of the time. This is common, for them. Well, the new studies are also showing dementia risk goes way up after just "one" severe hypoglycemia attack! The recommendations now for them are to avoid all lows! If you Google "dementia risk hypoglycemia" you'll see those papers.

I haven't followed up on it, but somewhere along the line I ran across the idea that problems could arise with glucose transport across the BBB. Those would be hard to spot since blood levels would appear normal.

There are times when my Sinemet won't kick in unless I have something with sugar in it. Sometimes it requires protein (which is not what you would expect).
Is there a signaling system between the GI and the BBB telling it when to increase its permeability to accept nutrients? Does insulin do that? Thanks, don |

New test for hypoglycemia...
there is a better test they give you now - the old test was a glucose tolerance test which was dangerous, ~~~~~~~~ if you can distinguish the body needs sugar and fuel, [FOOD] you may do better with the medications hypoglycemics make too much insulin if you drink for breakfast tea or coffee with sugar, or fruit juices or soy yogurt, or organic yogurt w/ fruit or a yogurt smoothie it is good after the rise of sugar to balance it - it would be better if you had a breakfast burritto with beans and rice - than our breakfast of eggs & bacon, (personally it makes me ill) ~~~~~~~~~~ now diabetics - need a different approach to keep their sugars down, they do not make much insulin - oatmeal lowers blood sugar so it is better for diabetics, ____________ 1.A polypeptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and functioning in the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen, which lowers the blood glucose level. http://www.answers.com/insulin?gwp=1...0.651&method=3 for more info - go to peace to your hearts - tena

I was hypoglycemic, but not diabetic using only exercize/ essiac tea /and proper diet. Had two bad episodes of low blood sugar..two days in a row ..the last two days of massage therapy school and my mind has been worse ever since . Low blood sugar & stress (like taking final tests) can really create problems. It took me at least 2 weeks to feel somewhat normal. Before that I thought only too high sugar would destoy cells. Thanks for the post. Aunt Bean
